Have you tried Venezuelan Food? Well, this is probably the best venezuelan restaurant I've been, and I've been to a few all over the world. You'll get to know the Arepa (Taco's big sister) and will fall in love with the Empanadas. Do you like plantain? then go for the Patacon and discover that Latin Food is more than Tacos and Enchiladas. Did I say is the only 100% Gulten Free restaurant in Calgary?
Tell them Jose sent you!
